DNXP-A motorized driver for NXP flexure platforms
Quick-change stepper-motor driver for automated alignment and remote positioning of NXP coupling-platform axes.
Catalog context
DNXP-A is listed as DNXP-A motorized driver for NXP flexure platforms in the Fiber Alignment Stages family. The local catalog record provides these first selection fields: Drive type: Motorized, two-phase stepper; Driver travel: 8 mm; Effective NXP travel: 4 mm.
| Drive type | Motorized, two-phase stepper |
|---|---|
| Driver travel | 8 mm |
| Effective NXP travel | 4 mm |
| Step / half-step resolution | 1.25 µm / 0.625 µm |
| Bidirectional repeatability | 5 µm |
| Motor | 35 mm stepper; 1.8° step angle |
| Limit switch | Built in |
| Compatibility | NXP-3M and NXP-6M platforms; one driver per axis |
Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Step-and-acquire across areas far wider than a single field of view.
Move parts between fixed stations with closed-loop encoders holding position over long shifts.
Coordinate several axes from software for processing, inspection and test sequences.
System integration
Use these checks to connect DNXP-A to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Compatibility: NXP-3M and NXP-6M platforms; one driver per axis. Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
Driver travel: 8 mm · Effective NXP travel: 4 mm. Adjuster pitch sets the sensitivity you can actually work at. Confirm whether the stated figure is a total range or a per-revolution increment, and whether the mechanism is locked after adjustment.
Model selection
Compare DNXP-A with the closest available models in the Fiber Alignment Stages family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.

Before you specify
Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.
PhotonicsSingle-mode fiber does not preserve polarization. Pin the state, erase it with a scrambler, or maintain it in PM fiber — which one your measurement needs, and the response time and extinction ratio that decide it.
